UnderGraduate Education
Millersville University
Millersville, PA
August 2000 – May 2004
Experiences
As is the case with most undergraduate education, my classes concentrated on my major but I also had to take a number of courses outside of my major. It was actually a pleasure at times to change speeds and learn something completely outside my comfort zone. Of course the most important classes were within my major. Until this point, I had never been challenged in the way some of the classes challenged me. Thinking outside the box was a necessity as was working as a team with my colleagues within Millersville.
